Dilijan National Park
Դիլիջան ազգային պարկ
Extensive mountain broadleaf forest surrounding Dilijan, where monasteries, mountain lakes and several hiking routes are all hidden within the park.
The national park covers about 240 square km and is mainly oak, beech and hornbeam forest. It is home to brown bears, roe deer and various birds of prey, and it also has several mineral springs. The main hiking routes in the park include the Lake Parz–Goshavank trail (about 8 km), the forest tracks west of town to Jukhtakvank and Matosavank, and the mountain path to Haghartsin. Some sections are part of the Trans-Caucasus Trail. Entry to the park is free, and the park visitor center is in Dilijan town, where you can pick up maps and check trail conditions. Forest tracks become muddy after rain, so waterproof hiking boots are recommended.
